The samples that will be tested have been announced on this thread. If you have concerns/comments about the sample suite choice, please post there.

The test results will be calculated the same way my former tests were. I don't plan to include bitrates in the formula. Comments are welcome now (they are of no use to me after the test has been started).

I haven't decided about anchors yet (my guru is traveling ), but someone suggested me that I use Lame ABR 128 as higher anchor, so that we can verify which one of these codecs really deliver the marketing of "sounds like MP3 at half the bitrate"

Then, the lower anchor would be a standard 3.5kHz lowpass, like it is done on most formal tests at low bitrates.

So, I'd like to know your thoughts on what I planned.

Thanks for your attention;

Roberto.
